According to the recent report by IMARC Group, titled “United States Specialty Generics Market Report by Route of Administration (Injectables, Oral, and Others), Therapeutic Application (Oncology, Hepatitis, Multiple Sclerosis, HIV, Other Autoimmune Diseases, and Others), Distribution channel (Retail Pharmacies, Specialty Pharmacies, Hospital Pharmacies) 2025-2033," the United States specialty generics market reached a value of USD 28.4 Billion in 2024. Specialty generics refer to the generic variants of branded specialty drugs, which are only developed once the patent expires. These drugs are available only on prescriptions and are utilized to treat chronic medical conditions such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), HIV, psoriasis, hemophilia, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and hepatitis C. As the prevalence of these diseases is rising gradually in the United States, there is a high demand for specialty generic drugs. Moreover, favorable initiatives by the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), such as the breakthrough therapy designation, aimed to smoothen the accessibility to these drugs.
United States Specialty Generics Market Trends:
Specialty generic drugs are more cost-effective than their branded counterparts. This can be accredited to the elimination of time-consuming research and development (R&D) activities and low cost requirements for their marketing and promotion. As a result, they help in reducing the overall cost of the treatment, which has increased the inclination toward these drugs. Apart from this, the rising prevalence of life-threatening diseases and the growing geriatric population are contributing to the growth of the market. According to statistics, the United States is experiencing steady growth in the number of cancer cases. In 2020, an estimated 1,806,590 new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed among adolescents and young adults (15-39 years) and 606,520 people can die from the disease. With these numbers aggravating every year, the demand for specialty generics will increase subsequently. Additionally, several blockbuster drugs will lose patent protection in the near future, which is creating a positive outlook for the market. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 60.0 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 8.6% during 2025-2033.
